The official release of the "Mulan" survey results: involving falsehood and deception, the five-year promotion qualification was cancelled.
On January 23rd, official website, Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences), issued opinions on the investigation and handling of Mulan language problems.
According to the opinion, Liu Lei, the main person in charge of Mulan Language Team, made false statements in the second paragraph of Article 3 of the Interim Measures of China Academy of Sciences on Investigation and Handling of Misconduct in Scientific Research, and cheated the unit in the external publicity activities.
The opinion decided to deal with Liu Lei as follows: cancel the application qualification for promotion of professional and technical posts within five years; Cancel the application qualification of scientific research projects within three years; Informed criticism within the scope of the institute; The post level was reduced from engineer level to assistant engineer level.
Earlier, according to China News Network and other media reports, on January 15th, the Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences officially released the "Mulan" programming language system independently developed by the compilation technical team of the State Key Laboratory of Computer Architecture for a new generation of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things applications, and launched the "Mulan" open source software package for free download and acquisition by users around the world.
But then there was controversy on the Internet, and "Mulan" was actually "skin-changing Python", which was questioned. On January 19th, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a statement, claiming that there were cheating and false statements in this behavior, and decided to suspend the inspection of the parties concerned, and will conduct an in-depth investigation on this issue.
The survey and handling opinions released this time show that Liu Lei is an on-the-job employee and engineer of the Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is also the head of Zhongke Zhixin Company, leading the team to develop the "Mulan" language for youth programming education. The statement that "Associate Professor Liu Lei" appeared in the propaganda is inconsistent with his post.
According to the opinion, the "Mulan" language is divided into two versions. The team defined the language specification, independently developed the compiler, bytecode specification and virtual machine, and developed a visual programming environment based on open source Blockly, which carried out some in-depth work for the programming education of primary and secondary school teenagers, and the work was relatively systematic and complete. However, claiming to the media that "completely independent design" has exaggerated elements; It is a false statement to claim that Mulan is a completely independent programming language. It is claimed that "Mulan is positioned as the development language for the next generation of important applications of the Internet of Things" lacks the support of application cases; It is false to claim that Mulan language adopts an elastic actor execution model and uses data sparsity to improve efficiency.
The opinion also pointed out that "the propaganda materials handed over by Liu Lei to the media are seriously inconsistent with the approval materials submitted to the propaganda director of our company, which is a deceptive act." (The Paper reporter Yuna Cheung)
